Which UK fighter do you most want to see KTFO this year?

David "Herbie Hype" Haye -

I bet I get my wish too!!!

 

:nono You f**king Yank c**t!

 

Well done :jjj

:cheers

 

The yanks want all our fighters ko`d as this thread proves because they don`t dominate the sport anymore.It won`t happen but,if somehow our Jennings beats Cotto that would really **** them off Jennings being a UK fighter but I`d say Hatton has more chance of knocking Pacquiao out.

 

In your biased opinion.

 

I admit i`d like to see Amir Khan knocked out again

 

hatton, so he can already retire..manny would send him to the hospital

 

dont be harsh to khan..his marketable..guererro needs him as a punching bag later in his career

 

Funny that, bearing in mind that each one of Ricky Hatton, Joe Calzaghe, Clinton Woods, David Haye, Junior Witter, Carl Thompson and Carl Froch (to give a few examples) have left their homeland to fight more times than Roy Jones, ODLH, Mayweather, Shane Mosley, Pavlik and Taylor combined! I take it all of those guys "hid" as well then? Or are we applying the usual double standards here?

 

Most of the time maybe.

Shall we devalue all the american middleweights of the 90s who didnt fight in europe? Plenty of big fights they ducked then wasnt there.

 

Hmmm... methinks YOU'RE a bit thick! You see the great thing about the sport of boxing is that, unlike in other sports such as football where all the best teams are affiliated to a national league which they play in (primarily England, Spain or Italy) and basketball/gridiron where only one country plays it and calls it a world league, boxers are not bound by jurisdiction. Whilst more of the best fighters base themselves in the US than anywhere else, primarily due to all of the South Americans who fight there for economic reasons, all of them are at perfect liberty to travel anywhere in the world for a fight.

Any fighter is going to fight in his home country unless there is a persuasive reason why not (i.e. money or a big opportunity). That's just logical. Nonetheless, all of those guys mentioned have proved that they will "go and get it" for a big enough fight. I.E should there be enough money there or a big career-defining fight, they will get their passport out. That isn't "hiding". As opposed to clowns like Jermain Taylor who seems to think that because he's American he has the right to have every bout on home turf, has twice turned down title shots or final eliminators because he might have to travel and as a result is probably going to fade into irrelevance in a string of "who cares" matchups with the likes of Lacy and Green!
